Gary Giddins’ name on a book makes it a “must-read” for many. He uncovers some of the Bing Crosby myths here and presents us with a comprehensive look at the music, films, and entertainment of 20th Century America through the 1940’s and examines Crosby’s influential role. This detailed biography includes musical analysis, a discography, filmography, and index useful to all readers. Gary Giddins is a columnist for the Village Voice and the biographer of Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker. In 1998 he won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Visions of Jazz: The First Century.

reading.
The books used to research and develop JazzStandards.com
are listed at the right and the listing may be considered
the site bibliography.
The primary focus of these books is not always
the jazz standards per se, so each entry is annotated
indicating the book's relevance to the subject.
If there is a book you feel we have overlooked,
please let us know the title and how it supports
the research or recreational study of the jazz standards.
